Radio Televisyen Malaysia Active on Shortwave: New Logs from Kajang Transmitting Station

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following update:

A follow-up to my post last month: https://swling.com/blog/2026/03/is-nasional-fm-on-shortwave-full-time/

I am now hearing RTM regularly on shortwave on both 11885 kHz and 15295 kHz through Kiwi SDR’s located in Southeast Asia and Australia. As Timm Breyel pointed out, programming seems to be in Chinese on 11885 with IDs noted as “Sabah V FM” at the 52-second and one-minute mark of the attached recording. Voice announcements on 15295 continue to be in presumed Malaysian, but identification can be heard as Nasional FM at the 6:05, 6:14, and 6:20 marks of the second recording. These are both coming from the Kajang Transmitting Station near Kuala Lumpur. It will be interesting to see how far afield their signal can be heard.

Sabah V FM April 2, 2026 on 11885 kHz at 0128 UTC:

Nasional FM April 2, 2026 on 15295 kHz at 0255 UTC:

Bells and bargains on shortwave

Leave a reply

Greetings all SWLing Post community. Here’s news of what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to the airwaves this weekend. Thanks to the services of Shortwave Gold we have a broadcast of the great Radio Carillon. The first transmission is on Saturday 18th April at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 19th April at 0900/1300 UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz.

Tune in and hopefully at the end of the hour your ears won’t be ringing but will have taken delight in listening to songs about bells, songs with bells and hopefully, some slow ballads played on “a pitched percussion instrument that is played with a keyboard and consists of at least 23 bells.” Tune in and enjoy a wonderful hour of ringing and singing on shortwave.

If you tune into WRMI on Wednesday 22nd April 2026 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz you’ll hear the only official supermarket music station on HF called KMRT. Expect bargains, Blue Light Specials, instore giveaways at 30 minutes past the hour and a load of tin cans without the labels on them which will be sold as: 4 mystery tins for the price of 1. (What’s inside? That’s between you and your can opener.)”* Tune in and enjoy the thrills and spills of the supermarket from the comfort of your own home!

Greetings all SWLing Post community. This weekend, Imaginary Stations brings you yet another episode of CLOK, a radio tribute to that popular concept that we call time. The first transmission is on Saturday 11th April at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 15th April at 0900/1300 UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold). Programme 3 features all sorts of time tributes, songs about cuckoo clocks, diver’s watches and if all goes to plan (and time is not an issue), a world exclusive, the debut of the band The Watchstraps live in the studio. Make sure to wind up your watch and check you are in the right time zone to enjoy this 60-minute show on shortwave.

If you tune into WRMI on Wednesday 15th April 2026 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz Imaginary Stations bring you a sonic salute to “The king of them all” with a programme called KING. King Records was founded by Syd Nathan in Cincinnati Ohio and featured Country & Western, Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll, James Brown and lots more from 1943-1975 and it’s a wonderful tribute show.
